AWhen the river velocity decreasesBWhen the river slope becomes very steepCWhen the river lifts a mountainDWhen the river has no sediment

Question 6MediumLevel 30

Why do Himalayan rivers form more bends after entering the plains?

ABecause slope decreases and flow becomes slowerBBecause they freeze in the seaCBecause they dry immediatelyDBecause they do not touch rocks

AHimalayan regionBSouthern edge of Deccan PlateauCArabian SeaDThar Desert

Question 14MediumLevel 30

Why is there a possibility of waterfalls in Peninsular river systems?

ADue to plateau surface and sudden differences in heightBBecause rivers do not go to the seaCBecause all rivers are glaciersDBecause the plateau is completely flat

Question 15MediumLevel 30

By which feature can a trellis drainage pattern be identified?

AMain and tributary streams forming a lattice-like arrangementBStreams meeting only in a circular lakeCA river flowing without tributariesDAll rivers rising from the sea
